Social Distancing – Staff

• Our Workshop Technicians and staff are rostered daily on separate shifts to provide social distancing within our Jandakot workshop. The two-roster approach will reduce the outcome of all staff being infected if Covid-19 was introduced to our premise.

Maintaining Supply

Social distancing, staff working from home and split rosters for our workshop Technicians allows AHPC to continue to provide the level of service and continue supply as usual.
